But the fate of that NASA -
funded education program and many others was very much up in the air until this week, when Congress passed a $ 1 trillion
spending bill to
fund the
federal government through 30 September 2015.
Non-military
spending includes
federal funding for public
education, veterans» care, the National Institutes of Health, Environmental Protection Agency, State Department and other programs means that the resulting balance.
The figures for pre - collegiate
education spending do not include
federal flow - through
funds, unless noted.
The Senate passed a nearly $ 32 billion
spending bill for
education and other social programs last week, but Democrats and the Clinton administration were outraged by a provision in the bill that would transform most
federal education funding into block grants.
If the skeptics are right, Wood writes, Common Core «will damage the quality of K — 12
education for many students; strip parents and local communities of meaningful influence over school curricula; centralize a great deal of power in the hands of
federal bureaucrats and private interests; push for the aggregation and use of large amounts of personal data on students without the consent of parents; usher in an era of even more abundant and more intrusive standardized testing; and absorb enormous sums of public
funding that could be
spent to better effect on other aspects of
education.»
Its principal task: to distribute
federal funds to states and local school districts amounting to about 8 percent of the total
spent nationally on
education.
This
funding is on top of the nearly $ 700 million the
federal government already
spends on science and math
education programs within the National...
Districts then had nearly unfettered control over how these
funds were
spent; activities merely had to comport with four major
federal education statutes, including the Elementary and Secondary Education Act — laws that, despite many years and billions invested, hadn't adequately improved our
education statutes, including the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act — laws that, despite many years and billions invested, hadn't adequately improved our
Education Act — laws that, despite many years and billions invested, hadn't adequately improved our schools.
But it would require states to
spend at least 65 percent of their
federal funds for vocational
education at the secondary - school...
There's no ready estimate of how much districts
spend for extracurriculars: Districts account differently for teachers» afterschool pay (it can be lumped in with merit pay, says Stephen Frank of
Education Resource Strategies), whether they include team buses in the extracurricular budget, how much they depend on parents and booster clubs for field maintenance and stage - set construction, if and how much they charge students to participate, whether they use
federal Title I
funds for afterschool enrichment, and so on.
Finding that «local policy prerogatives and dire financial conditions trumped
federal pleas for reform and led to the
spending of massive amounts of aid on preserving the status quo and protecting existing jobs and programs,» Smarick urges policymakers to heed the lessons learned from that experience and to focus on reducing the gulf between reforms promised and reforms delivered when it comes to the Department of
Education's $ 4.35 billion Race to the Top
fund.
The Obama administration dangled $ 4 billion in
federal funds at the height of the Great Recession and linked them to states demonstrating that they'd «prioritize»
education spending.
Instead, the [local school district] is required to
spend a proportionate amount of IDEA [Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act]
federal funds to provide equitable services to this group of children.
Federal policy plays an important role in the financing of postsecondary
education at institutions by providing grants to low - income students and access to loans to all students, in both cases on similar terms regardless of whether the
funds are to be
spent at a public, for - profit, or private, non-profit college.
As
federal, state, and local budgets potentially respond to Endrew F. and state and local pressures, it is important to remember that these increased supports for general
education require
funding — so transferring
spending out of the general program to specific services clearly identifiable as benefiting solely students with disabilities could backfire.
Non-government schools have accused Grattan Institute researchers of «oversimplifying»
education funding issues in a new report that shows how the
federal government could offer needs - based
funding to schools by 2023 without
spending significantly more money.
Teachers massively overestimated the role of the
federal government in
education, guessing it
spent 30 percent of all school
funding.
Those
federal funds make up about 12 percent of all
education spending.
I find it ironic that of all the waste in
federal education spending, Republicans might cut some of the few programs that are actually tied to
funding non-governmental organizations that work.
Districts must decide how they plan to
spend that
funding, called «impact aid,» by July 31, or give it back to the
federal government, said Chad Colby, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of
Education.
In its original form, the program never topped $ 500 million in
federal funding — less than one - half of 1 percent of current
federal education spending overall.
It governs how the state can
spend a projected $ 2.6 billion in
federal education funding, including $ 1.8 billion in Title I
funding for low - income students.
For decades, Title I of ESEA has included important fiscal requirements to ensure that
federal funding is supplemental to state and local
education funding and that states and districts do not reduce their own
spending in response to receiving
federal dollars.
Education spending has still yet to recover from the Great Recession in many states.11 Because of state constitution balanced - budget provisions, when faced with significant federal funding cuts, states are forced to either further cut education programs or raise taxes.12 The idea of further raising taxes to backfill Trump's education funding cuts simply is not practical in states such as Maryland, 13 Illinois, 14 and New Jersey, 15 which are struggling to fund their current responsi

education funding cuts simply is not practical in states such as Maryland, 13 Illinois, 14 and New Jersey, 15 which are struggling to
fund their current responsibilities.
Federal law is very clear that such money is to be used to supplement
education spending for the neediest students, not supplant all state
funding.
The bill repeals certain aspects of ESEA, such as requirements for how much states and school districts must
spend before receiving
federal funding, and eliminating more than 65
federal education programs.
According to the account, the Republicans believe «the [Dept. of
Education] is trying to reassert federal control by exceeding its authority with a rule that would require state and local spending in low - income schools receiving Title I funds to be equal or greater than non-Title I schools... and force schools to include teacher salaries when measuring spending between Title I and non-Title I schools...» At the same time, the story notes that «King is facing pressure from civil rights groups who want to ensure the new education law does not deprive low - income students of equal fundin

Federal funding constitutes a small but critical portion of total
education spending.
Through the Race to the Top initiative, for example, the Obama administration succeeded in incentivizing states: Even with relatively small pots of money — just $ 4 billion, or less than 2 percent of
federal education spending — the administration encouraged states to prioritize innovative teacher and principal reforms and develop rigorous academic standards.22 Thirty - four states modified their policies in response to the
federal initiative, even though only 19 states received
federal funding to do so.23
Given the fiscal priorities of the Trump administration, however, state and local
education officials will likely experience decreases in
education spending and grant
funding at the
federal level.
With a relatively small price tag — less than 1 percent of all local, state, and
federal education funding — RTT helped spur states to make most of these policy changes before one dollar of the
federal program's money was
spent.
Under Alexander's legislation, states could opt to allocate the newly - consolidated
